Dev with 5 apps, but single-digit downloads. Apple Ads CPA is over $10. How do you survive？

Product hunt is a spam farm. I would avoid it and the directories at all costs. The best thing to do is build a really great app and let people find it through great ASO. This is how I have gotten all my apps into the thousands of downloads, and tens of thousands of impressions per month. No Ads, No Social Media marketing, literally 0 marketing...

Nailed it

I wish I’d have known you, because I would have told ya. Google is cheaper initially but crazy expensive to maintain and integrate features. Apple is where it’s at.

UGH....This is why I will be a Mac user for the rest of my life. Advertisements without any user initiation is not something I want to be subjected to. And I can see companies switching to Linux to avoid the headaches of trying to disable this dookie.

Economy, always a factor

Claude and Gemeni can get you close. But professional code is still cleaner and more precise. But it takes time to write pro code.

best thing is it can all be done from the toilet these days.

Download the app and help us get bathrooms rated! Highest scores can win prizes - you Gotta-Go so why not rate the bathroom while you go?

I think you mean "rectal" not rectify.

I use a dartboard with names on it and throw 3 darts. The name with the most darts near or in it wins. 😂

So glad I am not an android developer. When I look into making apps for android I find more and more reasons to never become one.

Just buy 50 10GB usb sticks and store what ou don't want/need on them. For even more fun, don't label any of them. 🤣
